THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
did love pass you by in the blink of an eye
just when you thought it would last forever
was it something you said was it something you did
was it something you blamed on the weather
did it flitter and die like a candle's goodbye
or was it more like a very long sleep
if you could return now with all you've learned
would you still take it all down so deep
did love pass you by when you tried to deny
it was fooling you only to leave you behind
and did you blame yourself or still blame someone else
for the pain in your heart and the hate in you mind
are you looking for more or just looking for war
to distract you from how very empty you feel
or have you gone insane gone and sublet your brain
to illusions you live as if they were real
I've been through the mill, tasted the bitter pill
the one that's choked the finest of men
and women as well who know the crime of hell
is believing love won't come again
but where is the hope at the end of the rope
when you barely can cope with the day
and the night swallows you between the black and blue
leaving nothing words could ever say
did love pass you by in the blink of an eye
and do you mourne it's loss evermore
or maybe it seemed never more than a dream
like a stranger who's afraid to knock at your door
or are you the stranger afraid of the danger
of the unknown feelings without any walls
did you give up on yourself, keep your heart on a shelf
or bury it to keep it away from the falls
did love pass you by in the blink of an eye
was it ever so precious like storybooks tell
will you give it a chance to have another dance
a memory fantasy rhapsody spell
is it still within you or did it burn clear through
leaving naught but a hole filled with impotence
can you dare hope again for the first time and then
finally come to the end of the great suspence
I've been through the mill, and went over the hill
the one that brought down the strongest of men
and women as brave learning how to behave
while still dreaming that true love will come to them
and somewhere in time is the end of the rhyme
that you dared to let in to inspire you today
till the night swallows you in a dream coming true
leaving nothing words could ever say
Nothing Words Could Ever Say
(Did Love Pass You by?)
